No arrests yet in stolen items case

No arrests were made over the weekend in the case involving more than $15,000 in stolen items recovered Thursday from a Westbury Trailer Court residence in Kirksville.

KPD Detective Justin Jones said Monday that a person of interest had been identified after police raided a residence at 2105 Westbury Trailer Court Thursday but declined to release suspect information until charges are filed.

He said the bulk of the evidence recovered, including flat screen televisions, 10 rifles including a Savage Arms .338 Lapua valued at more than $5,000 and power tools, had been cataloged and was being matched up to recent reports of burglaries in the area.

Police said Friday that the bulk of the items were reported stolen in 2013 and in connection to at least four incidents in Adair and Sullivan counties.

Jones said at this time there is only one suspect, but additional individuals could be pursued in connection with the investigation.
